S. 1002 Safe Doses Act 1 (March 16, 2012)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo10710 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE March 16, 2012 S. 1002 Safe Doses Act As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on March 8, 2012 CBO estimates that implementing S. 1002 would have no significant cost to the federal government. Enacting the bill could affect direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that any effects would be insignificant for each year. S. 1002 would establish new federal crimes relating to the theft of certain medical products. As a result, the government might be able to pursue criminal cases that it otherwise would not be able to prosecute. CBO expects that S. 1002 would apply to a relatively small number of additional offenders, however, so any increase in costs for law enforcement, court proceedings, or prison operations would not be significant. Any such costs would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Because those prosecuted and convicted under S. 1002 could be subject to civil and criminal fines, the federal government might collect additional fines if the legislation is enacted. Civil and criminal fines are recorded as revenues. Criminal fines are deposited in the Crime Victims Fund, and later spent. CBO expects that any additional revenues and direct spending would not be significant because of the relatively small number of cases likely to be affected. S. 1002 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
